Why is my computer so slow,i bought it last year and i use it only for internet.I see that it uses 100% of CPU.It is so slow,i have 2gb ram.What should i do?I have windows 7 starter,should i install some older version?Thanks 😉
 
2 GB of RAM is pathetic even for Windows 7...

the 100% cpu usage, however, could be caused by legit updates, or, malware...

Make sure all updates are done before evaluating cpu usage...

after updates are all done/applied, look to see what tasks show in task manager/processes

alter your msconfig to disable startup of everything you truly do not need...

If 32 bit windows, try to up your config to 4 GB, and if 64 bit, 6-8 GB performs well...

A quick pass with Malwarebytes ANtimalware might show/remove anything running that ought not to be..(i.e., junk/malware)
 
The Intel Celeron processors are the budget processors that Intel makes, sometimes they are slow like it happens to my PC all the time. Try replacing yours with a better processor like the Pentium and Core processors for your computer, or your laptop.
